She said that an ideal location had been located, and the seller had written a letter of interest regarding the sale of the property.

Mr. Bryce Merrill with the Oilfield Divers Monument said that there was interest expressed in building a ROV monument, but the city would need to provide space, possibly near the existing monument. Mayor Dragna suggested that it be put on the January agenda so that the issue could be voted on. Mr. Merrill also stated that the 2nd Annual Oilfield Divers Rally Weekend would be held on April 25, 2025 - April 27, 2025, and include an unveiling of the granite wall and a crawfish boil.
Mrs. Ingrid Dixon, mother of Mrs. Hettie Carries expressed that her mother’s extreme distress over the noise from Table 5 had taken a toll on her. She stated that she had studied law, and urged the Council to make the right decision regarding the liquor license for Table 5.
Mrs. Shannon Zerangue, a bartender and patron of Table 5, asked what could be done by the establishment to allow them to remain open. She said they had always tried to follow the rules and did not know what else they could do.
Pastor Bias stated that he wanted to go on record that South Central Planning & Development were terrible to work with during the redistricting process. He said that they had changed the colors of each district on the maps, the maps were hard to read, and did not return repeated phone calls regarding these issues. He urged the Council not to work with them on any future projects.
The minutes of the November 19, 2024 meeting were submitted. Pastor Bias asked that the minutes be amended by adding the transcript of the Table 5 public hearing to the file, seconded by Mrs. Leonard, and voted unanimously in favor.
